ADAMANTIUM Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I'm still not sure, the fact that its raw could mean a different kind of "signature?" I know some artists could have done that, but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some artists could have done that, but I doubt it i see what you mean, maybe i can reach out to mike M see if he will reply. my closest guess is michael golden he worked on nam and his M has that little sharp start on the left. what do you think??

I'm still not convinced. I thought the last letter might be an upside down "d" I'm not sure if it is like a "tag graffiti " sig I was already outside the box so idk stevemon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy Joe Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 try to follow the line in the signature and see where it leads in your head...it doesn't appear to be a full sig, it is a rushed sig so that makes it harder to follow the letters being formed as he writes MC something is possible, but it could also be M Christopher or something similar all squished together Campiri or something looks possible too. It is too wonky to be A list (not to be rude), look at the era in that town and see if any artist alley names jump out at you from the shows.

JBK Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I keep seeing " '09 " as in 2009 at the end. And the first letter does look like an M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is too wonky to be A list (not to be rude), look at the era in that town and see if any artist alley names jump out at you from the shows. so i tried to narrow it down and looked up all names starting with "MC" on my slabbed comics and compared to each one so that rules that out. i think like you said its first name"M" last name something. And i agree not a A list artist but i do want to know who did just so i dont have a random art lol. Aslo checked local cons in dallas and houston on wikipedia to see the guest and no big leads there. the person did have promos from other states so thats my next step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this thought, and would agree Thats something I guess perhaps the "C" is an A, but pretty sur it's a c and the 3rd has to either be "h" or "U" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
